Benny Blanco reveals ‘nervous' Selena Gomez's reaction to their first memorable kiss; ‘I was so disgusting and…'
Music producer Benny Blanco disclosed reaction of Selena Gomez during their first kiss, stating that she felt so 'nervous'.
Appearing with Gomez for an episode of Jessie and Lennie Ware's podcast, 'Table Manners,' Benny said, 'We were just sitting in the living room on the couch and we were playing [the card game] 'We're Not Really Strangers.''
According to him, Gomez positioned herself directly on his chest and snapped a picture while reading a thing which said, 'Take a selfie with the person next to you.'
He further mentioned that he knew he simply needed to kiss his future fiancée at that very moment.
As soon as he kissed her, Gomez developed a rash on her face and her heart began to beat rapidly, Blanco, 37, said.
In response to Lennie's question about if Gomez was 'allergic' to Blanco, he joked, "She was, yeah. I was so disgusting and repulsive.'
The singer, 32, instantly intervened to say that she hadn't 'liked anyone in a very long time,' which was the reason she was frightened.

Stating that some kisses are just "for fun", she stressed but it's entirely a different feeling when "you feel something behind a kiss" 'And I'd been alone for about five years, with the exception of a few s–tty dates here and there, but never felt that way. And I was a little embarrassed.'
The couple didn't begin dating until June 2023, after having been acquaintances for years. They confirmed their relationship on social media six months later.
Blanco proposed her with a gorgeous marquise diamond exactly a year after making their love public, referencing the words of their 2015 hit song 'Good For You,' one of their first musical collaborations.
Blanco prepared the incredibly unique and unusual piece—a marquise center stone set in a cathedral setting with an immense brilliant-cut eternity band for Gomez. For the ring, he collaborated with the jewelry designers Katherine Theofilos Claster and Stephanie Theofilos, who created Abril Barret.

Benny Blanco talks about his relationship with Selena Gomez, says 'Im just dreaming and praying every day'
Washington DC [US], June 5 (ANI): Benny Blanco revealed that he and his fiancee, Selena Gomez, are already considering having kids. "I love kids; I love being an uncle. I want to be a dad, though, God willing," said Blanco, reported Page Six. "I'm just dreaming and praying every day," he said of starting a family. In February, the couple purchased a USD 35 million Spanish-style estate in Beverly Hills, California. "I love making a house my own," shared Blanco, adding, "I'm not in there with the staple gun, but I'm in there with tchotchkes and a lot of creativity and heart. I hate it when you go into a person's house and you're like, 'Ooh, it feels like nobody lives here!' I don't want to be scared to sit down...." The ace musician admitted that he learned most of his relationship advice from his mom before he and Gomez became serious. "My mom always took the time to explain how a female mind works because she was going through so many dating traumas when I was growing up," he shared of his mother, who is divorced from his dad. "I've had some tough times, but I've always been a very happy person. I just wake up stoked every day," he said. Although Blanco shared that no one has told him about "emotional competency," he has learned what not to do by observing his friends' dating lives. "Some things I learn from friends of mine. I see them do something stupid, and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'll never do that in a relationship,'" he said. "Then sometimes you see your friend do something rad, and you're like, 'Ooh, I'm taking that little idea'," according to Page Six. He added, "You stop learning when you stop listening." Over the years, Blanco has learned that men struggle to listen to women's wants. "I think people's biggest problem, especially men, is we don't listen all the time... A woman will tell you exactly what she needs," he said. At 37 years old, Blanco hopes he knows "how to treat a woman by now." The 'Only Murders in the Building' actress and Blanco went public with their love in December 2023, six months after they started dating. A year later, they got engaged, as per the outlet. Blanco has been open about having kids with Gomez for quite some time; the singer revealed last year that she can't carry her own children due to medical issues , reported Page Six. (ANI)

"Queens supporting queens": Fans go wild as Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spotted having intense heart-to-heart during cozy dinner night out in NYC
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez's late-night NYC dinner fuels fans' curiosity (Getty Images) On a breezy Saturday evening in New York City, longtime friends and music icons Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were seen enjoying a cozy dinner at the Monkey Bar. The duo, known for their unshakable bond, sparked a wave of online excitement when a candid snapshot of their reunion surfaced via gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi. With no sign of their significant others — Travis Kelce in Kansas City for the Big Slick charity show and Benny Blanco apparently away — it was a rare and intimate moment shared between two of the most influential women in pop culture. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spark buzz with deep dinner chat during surprise reunion in Manhattan In the photo that's now making the rounds on social media, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are captured in what seems to be an intense and heartfelt exchange. Swift, dressed in a sleek black tank top trimmed with silver sequins, looks visibly surprised — a reaction that fans are already speculating about. Opposite her, Gomez sits in a booth wearing a dark scoop-neck shirt layered with a jacket featuring wide lapels. Her hair is pulled back into a polished bun, and her gold hoop earrings add a soft touch of elegance. Though simple in setting, the image has stirred major buzz, and for good reason. This meet-up wasn't just a social catch-up — it came on the heels of a massive personal victory for Swift. Just days earlier, she revealed that she had officially acquired the rights to her master recordings, marking the end of a years-long struggle with Big Machine Records, Scooter Braun, and later, Shamrock Capital. The battle had defined much of her recent career narrative, but now, it's finally resolved. In an emotional message to her fans, Swift wrote, 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. As a flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now.' The moment didn't go unnoticed by Gomez. Sharing Swift's post on her Instagram Story, she offered a proud nod of support, writing, 'Yes you did that Tay! So proud.' It's the kind of sincere and public show of friendship that fans have come to expect from this power duo. Having met back in 2008 when both were dating the Jonas Brothers — Swift with Joe, Gomez with Nick — their friendship has since matured into something far deeper than mere celebrity camaraderie. Through breakups, professional pivots, health battles, and monumental career shifts, Swift and Gomez have consistently been each other's pillars of support. Today, with Swift navigating her high-profile romance with NFL star Travis Kelce and Gomez engaged to producer Benny Blanco, the two remain just as tight-knit. Though Swift has kept a relatively low profile in 2025 following her blockbuster Eras Tour, recent sightings — including this dinner with Gomez — suggest she may be ready to step back into the spotlight. There are even whispers of new music on the horizon. Whatever comes next, one thing remains clear: this friendship, forged in their teenage years and tested over time, continues to shine brighter with every passing year.

'Yes, you did that Tay': Selena Gomez reacts to Taylor Swift winning back rights to her 6 albums
New York [US], May 31 (ANI): Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift's friendship is the kind we all dream of--a perfect example of 'best friend goals.' Gomez, on Friday, took to her Instagram Story to cheer for her bestie Swift and showed just how "proud" she was after the singer confirmed that she finally owns the masters of her first six albums. Sharing her excitement, Selena wrote, "YES, YOU DID THAT, TAY. SO PROUD!" Earlier that day, Swift posted on Instagram to confirm the news. The singer shared three pictures of herself sitting on the floor, smiling, and surrounded by her early albums. She wore a light purple top, jeans, and her signature red lipstick. Along with the pictures, Swift added a caption that read, "You belong with me," referencing her 2008 hit from the album Fearless. According to People, almost six years ago, Swift's music catalogue was sold to music executive Scooter Braun without her approval. Braun later sold it to Shamrock Capital. In response, Swift began re-recording her albums with "Taylor's Version" to take back ownership of her work. Gomez and Swift have been close friends since 2008, when they met through the Jonas Brothers. In past interviews, Gomez has spoken fondly of their bond. "We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical," Gomez said in 2017, during an interview with KISS FM UK, People reported. "It was amazing because [Taylor] was the girl with the big curly hair, all the bracelets, and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked," the "Good For You" singer said -- before she jokingly added, "It was the best thing we got out of those relationships." (ANI)
